Meet OpenPhone, a startup in the current Y Combinator batch. The company has been working on an app to make it easier to get and use a business phone number. You don’t need a second phone, you don’t need to get an expensive solution designed for big teams.
“Both my cofounder and I grew up in families were all of our income was dependent on the businesses our parents were running. Later, I joined a software company building back office tools for home improvement contractors,” co-founder and CEO Mahyar Raissi told me.
“There I noticed two important things. First, most of our users were using their personal phone numbers for business and they absolutely hated that. They'd have to put their numbers online or give it out to strangers. This meant getting constant calls when they were spending time with their families or when they were busy doing work. Second, contractors who communicated more professionally and were more responsive had more successful businesses and earned more money.”
OpenPhone is an app for iPhone, iPad and Android. After downloading the app, you can get a second phone number for $9.99 per month. It can be a local or a toll-free number in the U.S. or Canada. You can also port an existing phone number and get rid of your second phone.
After that, you can receive calls and messages in the OpenPhone app. Your professional and personal calls and texts will get a clear separation.
There are many advantages in having a second phone number. You can set up a different voicemail, you can also set your availability to control your business hours. You also get voicemail transcription through the OpenPhone app.
OpenPhone uses VoIP and routes all your calls and texts through your internet connection. You get unlimited calls and texts in the U.S. and Canada as part of your subscription.
Eventually, OpenPhone wants to add new features to make it more collaborative. You could imagine sharing your phone number with other team members in your company. It sounds a bit like Aircall, but OpenPhone wants to focus on small companies with less than 20 employees.

Sure, flying to different places allows you to immerse yourself in an assortment of cultures, but here’s the kicker: the actual act of traveling —you know, spending hours on planes, trains, and buses — is an experience that is painfully uncomfortable, and generally unpleasant.
Unless you have tons of money to spend on first class tickets, you have no choice but to suffer in cramped public transportation seats, while you try to find a way to catch up on sleep without throwing out your neck.

The first half of 2018 on Donald Trump’s Twitter timeline has been full of confusion, anger, and a whole heap of presidential typos.
The news cycle has moved at a breakneck speed, and so has Trump’s tendency to tweet — and then delete — tweets with typos. Even in the face of opposition from Congress and the potential violation of post-Watergate transparency laws.
That Trump and his social media team may be dropping these typos in on purpose is interesting because it’s either a completely bizarre strategy or, if it’s not true, the White House is just really that bad at spelling (which they’ve proven regardless of the tweets). Read more…

Machine learning is a close cousin to AI, wherein computers can progressively improve they way they perform certain tasks just by analyzing data and patterns. You don’t need your own server farm stocked with a fleet of GPUs to make it work. All you need is a working knowledge of Python and tools like TensorFlow and Google Cloud, all of which you can easily master with the Total Python Machine Learning Bundle.
This collection of eight expert-led courses provides an engaging, no-stress introduction to a wide range of machine learning concepts and prerequisites. You’ll get fluent in Python, one of the most versatile and popular programming languages. You’ll use Google’s open-source library TensorFlow to build deep learning models (and don’t worry, you’ll also find out what deep learning is). You’ll learn to harness the computing power of the Google Cloud to fuel your AI apps. You’ll explore automated decision-making with Scikit-Learn. You’ll even learn how to build your own recommendation systems like the ones used by Amazon and Netflix. Read more…
